It is part of the broader transition movement.

The association aims to support project leaders in the design, implementation, and evaluation of their projects in a spirit consistent with the purpose described above.

 

The main methods used are: the dissemination of knowledge (awareness-raising, information, activities, training, testimonials, exchange of experiences); project support, consulting, and decision-making assistance; networking; research, analysis, and studies; the organization of events (training sessions, workshops, internships, conferences, seminars, meetings, trade shows, exhibitions, performances, festive and cultural events, etc.)
